Mrs. Rigg's Sugar Cookies

Mrs. Riggs didn't know she would become this famous. Laurel had her as a teacher growing up, and she makes amazing sugar cookies. Beautiful, perfect to cut out and use at school for the kiddos. That's what we'll be doing! Emma and I will be making them to share with her soccer team on Saturday. Maybe I'll be able to add some pictures to this post! Thanks for sharing this recipe Laurel.
